Milky Way Pano 3/20/2021
My first successful panorama/combination of the Milky Way. Shot on 3/20/2021.
A couple of lessons I learned. A few shots of each would have been suffice. That way the images would have been closer together time wise. Also, as I’m new to both Lightroom and Photoshop, I have a lot to learn with regards to editing, removing background, combining images…
Equipment:
Nikon Ha Mod D5300
Rokinon F2.8 14mm
Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Pro
Acquisition: Bortles 4 Location
Background
Three images of Ten shots at 90 secs stacked in Sequator. ISO 800, F2.8, 14mm. Plus Darks and Bias
Foreground
Three single images shot at 5 secs, ISO 1600, F3.2, 14mm
Processing
Software: Sequator, Lightroom, Photoshop, GIMP
Both images stitched in Lightroom. BG adjusted in PS, slight curve adjustments, small stretch, color balanced. Stars reduced in Gimp. FG color adjusted/balanced in PS. BG and FG combined in PS.
Any comments/suggestions appreciated
